ABSTRACT This study was aimed at reporting a case of Valsava Retinopathy (VR) successfully treated with early YAG laser membraniectomy. This is a case report with analysis of medical records, performance, and recording of complementary exams, performing the laser procedure, assessment of immediate visual acuity, 7 and 30 days after the laser procedure. The patient demonstrated full recovery of visual acuity within 1 week. YAG laser membranectomy has proven effective in dispersing bleeding, accelerating visual recovery faster and more accessible […]

ABSTRACT Children with Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) often present with multi-layered retinal hemorrhages, with risks of retinal detachment, macular retinoschisis, and vitreous hemorrhages, depending on the impact of the head trauma. Permanent damage to vision can result from direct injury to the eyes or brain, the latter being the main cause of visual impairment. Retinal scarring and optic nerve atrophy are usually irreversible and can appear months after the injury. Ophthalmological findings can provide meaningful diagnostic data to the multidisciplinary […]

ABSTRACT To report a case of Terson syndrome following a traumatic brain injury during a footvolley match. The patient was undergoing evaluation with the following tests: visual acuity, retinography, angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Follow-up was maintained for 3 months with conservative treatment. Terson syndrome associated with head trauma is poorly documented as fundoscopy is not performed in most patients.

Visceral Leishmaniasis, also know as Kala-azar, is a parasitic tropical disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania donovani. It is an endemic disease in many countries. It affects approximately 1,5 million people every year, and when associated with mal-nutrition and co-infection it may be fatal. Fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and pancytopenia is its typical clinical picture. Ocular manifestations of Kalaazar are relatively rare and can affect either anterior or posterior segment of the eye. We report a patient with kala-azar presenting […]

Revesz syndrome is a rare variant of dyskeratosis congenita and is characterized by bilateral exudative retinopathy, alterations in the anterior ocular segment, intrauterine growth retardation, fine sparse hair, reticulate skin pigmentation, bone marrow failure, cerebral calcification, cerebellar hypoplasia and psychomotor retardation. Few patients with this syndrome have been reported, and significant clinical variations exist among patients. This report describes the first Brazilian case of Revesz syndrome and its ocular and clinical features.

A síndrome de Revesz é uma rara variante de disceratose congênita caracterizada por retinopatia exsudativa bilateral, alterações no segmento anterior ocular, retardo do crescimento intrauterino, pilificação fina e escassa, pigmentação cutânea reticular, falência da medula óssea, calcificações cerebrais, hipoplasia cerebelar e retardo neuropsicomotor. Há variações clínicas significativas entre os poucos relatos desta patologia existentes na literatura. Descrevemos o primeiro caso brasileiro de síndrome Revesz e suas características clínicas e oculares.

To describe the diagnosis and management of a optic disc haemorrhage probably caused by an acute and spontaneous posterior vitreous detachment. A single case-report of an optic disc haemorrhage probably caused by an spontaneous posterior vitreous detachment, in order to discuss the diagnosis, management and prognosis. Optic disc haemorrhage regression was observed after 6 hours of evolution without relapsing signals during the subsequent registers. The Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy revealed as an advanced alternative and efficient method in the vitreous detachment […]
